	<a class="citerefentry" href="samba.7.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">samba</span>(7)</span></a> suite.</p><p>The <code class="literal">vfs_acl_xattr</code> VFS module stores
	NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Extended Attributes (EAs).
	This enables the full mapping of Windows ACLs on Samba
	servers.
	</p><p>The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute
	<em class="parameter"><code>security.NTACL</code></em> of a file or directory.
	This Attribute is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> listed by
	<code class="literal">getfattr -d <code class="filename">filename</code></code>.
	To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified
	(e.g. <code class="literal">getfattr -n security.NTACL <code class="filename">filename</code>
	</code>).
	</p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="OPTIONS"><a name="id266863"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]</span></dt><dd><p>
		When set to <span class="emphasis"><em>yes</em></span>, a best effort mapping
		from/to the POSIX ACL layer will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> be
		done by this module. The default is <span class="emphasis"><em>no</em></span>,
		which means that Samba keeps setting and evaluating both the
		system ACLs and the NT ACLs. This is better if you need your
		system ACLs be set for local or NFS file access, too. If you only
		access the data via Samba you might set this to yes to achieve
		better NT ACL compatibility.
